Go to the top floor of an IKEA or shopping mall, unzip your pants and pee over the escalators onto the people below. Whirl your penis around in a 360 and say "Hello, I'm looking for new friends!" as the pee rains down.
Hang out with people that have similar interests and view points:
1) Keep connected to your family if those relationships are not abusive
2) If you have any social, political, or religious beliefs stay involved with those groups, attend meetings, conventions, or services.
3) If you have any recreational hobbies or activities join clubs or groups involved with those, whether those are physically active like hiking, biking, running and such, or things like gaming, movie going, cooking, etc.
talk to people lol. university puts you in this weird position where youre forces to talk with others so now you dont know how to real life. just talk. yes to that girl at the mall. this dude crossing the street. doesnt matter. just talk. youll have 1000 friends in no time like real people. and dont fucking back down if only 10% of the people reply, thats how many people are in fact worth talking to
Check out the website meetup.com.
You can find groups that get together for all kinds of activities. If you like sports, check local indoor soccer fields. They always have teams you can join.
Did you have friends before you left university? Apparently not good ones. I'm still in contact with people (few) I went to grammar school with. NOBODY from college. Have no real interest in new people (WASTE of time and energy) since then. You sound needy too. Are you ugly in one or more ways? Pretty people usually have no troubles attracting people who WANT to hang with them.
Do you have any socially-oriented hobbies? I do karaoke once or twice a week, just to get out of the house and do something fun that's reasonably wholesome.
There's a web site called Meetup dot com that has local hobby-oriented and demographic-oriented groups that meet and do things. There are groups for hobbies, and for various types of enthusiasts, and just plain social groups. One group I'm in is dedicated to exploring the local region's unique aspects, and also gets volunteers for some projects.
Fraternal Order of Eagles. Nice private clubs where the members focus on helping the community. Loyal Order of the Moose is also great. They have a school in IL called Mooseheart for orphans and a retirement facility in FL called Moosehaven. Best place to spend your money.
Doing things you love. If you don’t do what you love for work, you should still try to do it as a hobby. You’ll meet people as long as you are honest but friendly. People get creeped out by people who seem to be looking for friends. Just do you, it’ll happen.
Some of the best times have been working on projects with people on the internet. You have the same goal and work hard because it's something you care about.
Gun clubs are for gays and FBI. Worse gun club was that shit out of DC. Full of pedos, state department, and FBI niggerz wanna bees. Worse place ever after the NRA Range full of cuckservatives amd cia personel.
Not where I live. Sorry for your bad experience, you would enjoy mine. During the summer we have a dinner every Thursday night that is open to guests, and it's a lot of fun. We have a nice club house and bar, and everybody's real damn polite.
Honestly though I've met a couple lifelong friends through the trade. You find others with values that you either have or wish you had and try to find common ground for discussion, camaraderie. Most times if you aren't a fucking jackass you'll fit in with the right people. Everybody is out there looking just like you are for good people.
I talk to my neighbors all the time. I made a habit of this the last few houses I've lived at. It goes a long way to know that when you're out of town somebody near by can watch your six in a world where it is dog-eat-dog- every man for himself. Just don't come off too eager or creepy like you're gonna steal shit as soon as he/she turns around.
Two of my buddies I've had for over ten years off and on. I think it's important to keep at least two friends that no matter what would bail you out of jail no questions asked. Or help you bury a body in the middle of the night.
start a conservative meetup on meetup.com. The people running, working at, and supporting meetup.com are all super-libbies, and most people going to meetups are super left, so if you can get people to come to a conservative meetup, and they stay, and you can grow that group, then you're probably dealing with intelligent people that have values.
“Friends” is a word with many meanings to many different people, and a term used way too loosely, like “love” . imho. Make sure your “friend” is not a rapist or someone with a horrid hidden agenda. It takes a very long time to get to know a person inside...just sayin’. Good luck.
You are generally correcet. This is why i prefer the company of autists and schizophrenics and the like, they tend to speak whatever comes to their mind and in some cases cant not speak their minds.
Both are very hard to spot. I also liked many of the other posters, especially the “only meet in person”, so many liars who lie to your face. Stranger danger is real but one must take risks to gain. In truth, my best friends have always been my family.
Nigger fuck off I trigger people on 4chan, 8 chan, at AU chan, and on VOAT. Old man my generation is SAVAGE AF and you are probably too good to understand. You are from another time / class. I appreciate. You remind me of my great great grandpa; a true hero.
Best ways I've found is through volunteer work like community cleanups. I've met some pretty high quality people through things like that. You can also try the gym or church, those are the type of people I want to know better, but it's up to you I guess.
That's probably true as I have not been to a public gym in close to 10 years. Back then no one wore head phones, at least none of the ones I went to. I just do all of my working out at home these days or go out to a park for some cardio.
Take a continuing education class at your local community college. Look for a class at a local shop that teaches a hobby you're interested in. Join a book group. Go to church. Join a class at your local gym. What you need is something that gets you to regularly meet up with the same people over and over again. And you're right, it seems to be much harder to make friends as as adult.
Neighbors, inlaws, hobbies, reconnect with old friends. Probably the most important thing is be someone that people want to friend. If all you do is leech, bitch, and look out for yourself. What incentive does anyone have to be your friend.
Yeah in fairness maybe - I've always been strictly business to business in terms of what I do, so best to keep personal relationships out of it. Maybe different if you're business to consumer.
Why do you feel you need friends? Don't fall into the "humans are social animals" trap either, socializing and friends are not the same thing. Friends are people that haven't stabbed or betrayed you in the back yet.
You've fallen for it. What kind of socializing did your grandparents or great grandparents do and compare that to what people consider socializing today.
Humans aren't social animals as portrayed. Today's version of socializing is a way to push collectivism.
What kind of socializing did your grandparents or great grandparents do and compare that to what people consider socializing today.
Yeah, my grandparents and great grandparents socialized far more, with more people, and had way more true friends and closer relationships than the average person does today.
Thinking back on most of my friendships they were mostly one sided. I was calling them to hang out, they called me when they needed something from me (a ride or some sort). Kinda burned me out on friends, seems like everyone wants to use you up for their benefit.
They also appear to be seeking friends and not dates. Though I suppose the two are potentially related to each other.
When I retired and moved here, I spent a lot of time at community events, joined some clubs, and hit up the happening social scenes at places like the bar or bowling alley. From those, I selectively winnowed it down to things that most benefitted me and gave me the most amusement.
Today, I've got tons of local friends and contacts within the community. I am now invited to participate in many social functions and am considered a member of the community.
You know you've become a member of the community when they're finally telling you the gossip instead of you being the subject of the gossip.
When I moved to Asia I found the easy way to find friends was, sadly enough, Facebook.
Joined an off-road biking group, a hiking group and an off-road 4x4 group. I'd say of my 15 or so friends 13 of them came from Facebook or friends of friends from Facebook.
Yeah I hate Facebook too, but it does have its uses.
Also dear FBI I offered medical advice to you by recommending an old jewish Kabbalah art technique known as : "shuv pvc pipes in your ass ninja fbi fagget".
I hope we can discuss this at my home when I surrender my secret milf porn. Total of 2 vhs tapes.
Nogger fuk please I did not threaten the fuck nobody... please for the life of me come yo my house and have coffee. Friday 3pm is perfevt time. We will all be here watching.
